Columbus,' Os., Fet*. 14—The sx- ; nt to which the negro children In le rural districts of Georgia are lak- «g advantage of the public school rstem and getting the fullest educa- on possible Is but little reallied by eople who dwell In the cities the tar round. A few day* ago a Colgmbui gentle- tan had occasion to take a country ip of *ome length. Along the road- tie he me* group after group of ne- ro children going to school, and only ne crowd of white children during ne entire trip. The proportion of “LITTLE-DUCHESS" COMING negro school children to white that he saw during the trip was fully five or six to one. He was greatly im- pressed by the incident. The education that the negroes re ceive may not be .thorough, on .ac count of their own .mental .limita tions, but the majority will doubtless be able to "read and write and ex pound the constitution" which Is their ambition...In case the suffrage of the negro should be placed square ly upon the basis of educational qua!- ification, the efforts of the negro race to get all the benefits of education would, doubtless, be reduced.

Commission Will Give Hearing to Lumber Men on 27th. A special meeting of the railroad commission will be held on February 27, in order to hear a petition filed i 1 by Judge Spencer Atkinson In be- | half of the lumber dealers In Bruna- | wick, dealers In Savannah also Joln- ! ing In the petition, j The lumber dealers object to an * order recently passed by the South* * eastern Car Service association cut- ! ting down the time allowed for un- | loading cars of lumber from five to four days. This association assumes > charge of demurrage matters, and up to a few weeks ago allowed shippers i of lumber five days In which to un- : load cars at port points, principally, j The regulations of the railroad I commission allowed only two days for unloading cars, but the shippers have always followed the rules of the car service association because It gives them more time for unload ing shipments at ports. | Just what action the railroad com’ mission will take is not certain, be* j cause they have one regulation touching the matter, while the car service people have another. Lum ber men contend that cutting off one day works a great hardship on them. [arvie Jordan Tells of j -> The Plans to Boost Prices. 1 Atlanta, Feb. 14—President Haprie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton asso ciation, has made the following an nouncement: "I have secured an agreement with a syndicate of eastern capitalists, headed by E. R. Thomas, to take five thousand bales of middling. cot ton from southern planters at the minimum price of 13 cents a pound, deliverable at interior points, by or before July 1, 190e, the deal to be closed as soon as option on the syndi cates requirements shall have been secured. "The agreement further .provides for the taking of all cotton ready for market next Augusta and September from the crop of 1906 at the then market next August and September minimum price fixed by the Southern Cotton association.... This agree ment is not intended to affect holders vyho are demanding a maximum of 15 cents at present.. . New York bank ers ^re prepared to finance fully all southern bankers in assisting ty>lders of cotton for higher prices. Option contracts will be forwarded upon ap plication to all cotton growers." ... The German government profited Mh*1 yonr over $16,000,000 hv its pos- ml, telegraphic and telephone sys Perhaps some of the Senator* who take a fatherly interest In the *trug' gling trans-Contineutal railroad, would be Quite pleased to cut off both of Chairman Shonts' sol trie*— one a* canal commissioner andl the other as railway president. When Trains are Delayed. Tho Florida Railroad Commission recently Imposed a fine Of |300 upon the Seaboard Air Line* railroad; be cause It failed to post notices of the delay of a passenger train at Lake City, Greenville and Baldwin, Fla. This has revived the subject in this state and has led to many* threats against railroads. Division Superintendent Bennett, of the At lantic Coast Line has had his atten tion called to failures on the divis ion and he has promised ro make a thorough investigation. The local agents or operators generally post the Information as It comes from the dispatchers, and it seems tbSt the dispatchers are the ones who need a "jacking up" on thiB line. Frequently a minute is worth much tv> a business man and he could do a lot of work on the delay of a train if he only know It was delayed. Killed Doves by Hundreds. In the dove shoot at Dowling's field several miles above here yesterday, there were killed 1,079 birds, one him dred and ninety of them having be- n killed by one man. Quite a large crowd went out from this city, several hours being spent In the baited field killing tne birds. The incesftant rattle of the guns sounded like a battle. During the fusjlnde a few str.iy shot struck Dr. Wilson, of this city, in the face, penetrating the skin. His Injuries were not serious though tho shot had to be picked from his skin.. A man was sent to the asylum re cently because he wanted the moon. The people who want tho earth aro still outside. Bankrupt Sate.
